HARNESSUROSETTE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letter To all whom t 11i/ity concern.-

Be it known that I, GEORGE ZAHN, a citizen of the United States,residing at Newark, in the county of Essex and State oi' New Jersey,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Harness-Rosettes;and I do hereby declare the following to he a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in theart to which it appertains to 'maire and use the same, reference beinghad to the accompanying drawings, and to letters of reference markedthereon, which form a part of this specication.

The object of thisinvention is to reduce the cost of construction and toprovide a rosette of increased strength, and one better adapted toresist indentation.

rlhe invention consists in the improved harness-rosette constructed andthe parts thereof arranged and combined substantially as will hehereinafter set forth, and finally be embodied in the clauses of theclaim.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, in which like ietters indicatecorresponding parts in each of the several figures, Figures l and 2 arefront or face plans of the im proved device. Fig. 3 is a plan of theback thereof. 4 is a sectional view taken through line it, Fig. l. Eig.5 isa view showing the loop and a body-plate in detail, andA Fig. 6illustrates a. modification.

In said drawings, a indicates a body-plate of heavy and cheap sheetinetal-such as iron-in which indentations producing the desired designare struck by suitable dies.

b is an outer coveringplate of a better or more ornamental metal ormaterialsuch as brass-and one thinner than the body-plate, to moreperfectly partake of the desired de sign. This is struck up in the samedies as the body-plate, so that when the two are placed together theindent-ations and projections of the two plates coincide, and the outerplate has a close bearingover its whole surface on the inner andstronger plate, whereby the outer plate, though of very thin metal, andthough it has raised ornaments on its surface, cannot easily be indentedor bent, and thus injured.

s Patent No. 339,510, dated April 6, 1886.

Application [iled December 30, 1SE5. Serial No. 157,121. (No model.)

The outer plate is made of larger diameter than the body-plate, so thatthe edges of the former may be bent or turned under the edges of saidbody-plate, so that the two plates are held rinly together.

To the body-plate is attached the loop c, and to prevent the same fromworking loose and from separating the two plates, so that they do nothave the close relation described, I form in the body-plates rivet-holese e, which are reamed out, as shown, and on the ends of the loopshoulders d d, which limit the insertion of said ends in said holes.Said ends being inserted in the holes, the same are riveted, thelaterally'projecting metal of the extremities then entering thereaxned-out portions of the holes, as will be understood. Thenriveted,the parts a c are held firmly together, and the effect of theriveting is not apparent from the outside.

I am aware that a button has been shown and described in Patent No.262,347, of August 8, 1882, having its face surface ornaniented withconcaved ligurescontainingalining of metallic leaf held ltherein byatmospheric pressure, but said construction differs materially from myimprovement, in that the latter is of heavier metal, which covers theunder plate, entirely concealing it from view, and h as its edges turnedunder, so that the edges of the untinished under plate are hidden, andthe two plates are securely fastened together.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim as new is l. Theimproved bridle-rosette consisting, essentially, of two metallic platescorrespondingly indented or impressed with the design or ornament, theinner plate having a loop secured thereto and lying against the outerplate to re-enforce the same, and the outer plate having its edgesturned over those of the inner plate to conceal the latter and bind theparts together.

2. The improved harness-rosette herein described, combining therein aninner metallic body-plate having perfor-ations therein to receive theloop,- and having said loop secured therein, the ends of said loop lyingflush with or not projecting beyond the front face of said IOC)body-plate,to allow said plate to lie face bo ln testimony that I claimthe foregoing I` fece with a covering-plate, and said covering havehereunto set my hand this 23d day of of thinner metal having its edgesturned over December, 1885. those of the body-plate, the two platesbeing 5 correspondingly indented, all seid parts being Vitnesses:

arranged and combined substantially as and CHARLES H. PELL, for thepurposes set forth. FREDK. F. CAMPBELL.
